How To Make Slime

What You Need:

1. Borax (Sodium tetraborate)
2. Food coloring (optional)
3. School glue
4. Two bowls
5. Water

What You Do:

First, in one bowl mix 1 oz. glue (about ¼ of the glue bottle) and ¼ cup water. Add food coloring
to the glue and water mixture if you want colored slime. Lift some of the solution out of the
container with the stir stick and note what happens.
Second, add ¼ cup of Sodium Tetraborate (Borax) Solution to the glue and water mixture and
stir slowly.
Next, the slime will begin to form immediately. To test the elasticity of the slime, lift some of the
solution with the stir stick and observe how the consistency has changed from Step 1.
Stir as much as you can, then dig in and knead it with your hands until it gets less sticky. This is
a messy experience but is necessary because it allows the two compounds to bond completely.
Finally, the slime is ready to be played.
